You don't know where I buy my tomatoes! They are not from some corporate megafarm or bred for storage.
In fact I know exactly who grows my tomatoes. Her name is Ma Li Fang and for almost 20 years I watched her tend her plants every day on her small patch of land. She is mainly a subsistance farmer, but grows a few extra tomatoes which she sells from a local farmer's market (with real farmers, unlike most). My office overlooked her land. Still, after my retirement, I buy nearly all my tomatoes from her. Here she is.
Like 95% of the world population I do not live in the USA or Canada, so what happens there has no relevance to my tomato purchasing. Nor do I take everything on Serious Eats seriously.

That is simply untrue.
